• Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) lived and died in LA. He claimed he lost his virginity at the age of 24 to a '300 pound whore' and the inscription on his gravestone reads Don't try. The 1987 movie Barfly, starring Mickey Rourke (before he had the scary plastic surgery) and Faye Dunaway, is based on the life of Bukowski.
Great piece to illustrate and great illustration. Thanks for a moving introduction to Bukowski.
